Correct Answer: 550


Solution : The perimeter of the base of a right circular cone is given as 44 cm.
The circumference of the base = $2\pi r$, where $r$ is the radius of the base.
$⇒2\pi r=44$
$⇒r  = \frac{44}{2\pi}=\frac{22}{\pi}=\frac{22×7}{22}=7\;\mathrm{cm}$
$⇒l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$
$⇒l = \sqrt{(7\;\mathrm{cm})^2 + (24\;\mathrm{cm})^2}$
$⇒l=25\;\mathrm{cm}$
The curved surface area of a cone $ = \pi rl$
The curved surface area of a cone = $\frac{22}{7}$ × 7 × 25
The curved surface area of a cone = 550 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 550.
